    I have always needed 8 hours sleep. Also, In 42 years of marriage my husband and I never slept apart. I strongly believe in couples sleeping together. I never had a problem getting a full night’s sleep all my life until he passed away 5 years ago. . Now I realize listening to this broadcast that it has to do with cortisol levels because of my husband no longer being with me. Not having him here has been stressful for me. I miss him terribly. His passing has been the most challenging circumstance I have ever gone through and I have gone through a LOT of pain and loss. We loved each other very deeply. I still love him. I am getting better and I know this is all a part of the grief journey. Blessings and peace to all who are on this journey of grief and to all who aren’t as well. We all need peace. ❤️

    I’ve had chronic fatigue from past illnesses and every day I would wake up and throughout the day repeat things like “I’m so tired”, “I’m exhausted”. Then one day I decided I was going to stop telling myself that. I couldn’t bring myself to say something like “I feel well rested” but instead would say things like “I’m ready to get this day going”. It has really improved how I feel.

    00:26 😰 Stress is contagious as cortisol, the main stress hormone, can leak from one person's sweat and affect others.
    01:21 🧠 Our brains continue to grow and change from 25 to 65, improving higher functions like emotional regulation, problem-solving, and bias control.
    03:19 💼 CEOs' stress levels can have a significant impact on their organization, and managing stress is crucial for leadership.
    13:18 🤰 Hormones like cortisol and sex steroids can affect individuals' physiological responses and interpersonal dynamics, including menstrual synchronization and stress contagion.
    22:08 💪 Physical exercise can help reduce stress by sweating out excess cortisol from the body.
    22:21 📝 Managing stress involves strategies like aerobic exercise and journaling to reduce cortisol and negative thoughts associated with stress.
    24:00 📝 Quality sleep is crucial for the brain's health and managing stress levels. Ideally, 8 hours and 15 minutes in bed is recommended for most people.
    25:52 📝 The brain has a glymphatic system that actively cleanses toxins during sleep, taking 7 to 8 hours. Sleeping on your side is recommended for this process.
    30:28 📝 Co-sleeping or sleeping together can promote bonding, warmth, and the release of oxytocin, enhancing emotional connections.
    37:52 📝 Intuition is the result of stored wisdom and experiences in your nervous system, and it may be more readily acknowledged by women, though both men and women possess it.
    44:11 🧠 Understanding Pandemic Impact: The psychological effects of the pandemic, such as isolation and loss, have not been fully acknowledged or planned for, and their long-term consequences are not well understood.
    46:32 🌿 Nature's Healing: Spending time in nature has positive effects on physical and mental health, and it's essential to make time for it even as we return to our old routines.
    47:27 💖 Purpose Beyond Self: Having a purpose that transcends personal gain, like volunteering or helping others, is crucial for mental health and overall well-being.
    52:05 🧐 Neuro-Aesthetics: Incorporating creative activities and aesthetics into daily life, like art, music, and nature, has a profound impact on mental health, physical health, and longevity.
    53:16 🔄 Embracing Ancient Wisdom: The solutions to our current challenges may lie in the timeless wisdom of our ancestors, making it unnecessary to reinvent the wheel.
    01:07:04 🧠 Understanding beliefs: To address behaviors, it's crucial to dig below thoughts into the beliefs that underlie them.
    01:07:48 📝 Deliberate practice: Changing behavior involves deliberate practice, replacing old habits with new ones through consistent effort.
    01:09:56 💪 Three steps to change: Recognize patterns, understand consequences, and set intentions for who you want to become.
    01:12:44 🧬 Generational trauma and epigenetics: Trauma can affect gene expression, but resilience and healing are possible through understanding and effort.
    01:26:57 🏋️‍♂️ Neuroplasticity and exercise: Aerobic exercise can accelerate neurogenesis, benefiting memory and cognitive function. Weight training has different brain-related effects.
    01:28:17 🧠 Visualization can lead to muscle growth, demonstrating the power of our thoughts in shaping our bodies.
    01:30:01 🍇 Opt for darker-skinned foods like black beans, blueberries, and dark chocolate, as they contain antioxidants (anthocyanins) beneficial for brain health.
    01:31:10 💤 Create conditions for neuroplasticity by getting enough sleep, being physically active, managing stress, and maintaining hydration.
    01:33:32 🧠 Building self-esteem and confidence involves identifying negative thoughts, creating positive affirmations, and changing your inner narrative.
    01:39:26 🧩 Neurodiversity encompasses a range of brain differences, and the increase in diagnoses may be due to better recognition and adaptation to the changing world.
    01:49:26 🧠 Our thoughts and perceptions can have a significant impact on our physical health and well-being.
    01:50:35 📏 Posture and musculoskeletal coordination can improve when individuals change their behavior to match a younger age, as shown in a study with octogenarians.
    01:53:20 🗣️ The words we use can significantly affect our behavior, as seen in an experiment with medical students who walked more slowly when exposed to words associated with retirement.
    01:57:38 🧘 Visualizing and expressing gratitude for your desired outcomes can shift your brain from a fear state to a trust state, facilitating personal change.
    02:00:33 🎭 Overcoming limiting beliefs, especially those imposed by others, can lead to embracing one's creativity and potential for personal growth.

      It would be Great if we could support this as a culture but as a parent one can and should take on this responsibility and not expect the school systems to do this work that begins at birth.
      I would support parenting and child development classes in school-- tho in the current political situation I'm certain some would attack that as well.

    • @gillb9222
      @gillb9222 Рік тому +75

      @@artymiss3707 I agree that children should learn this at home too but there are two major problems with that in my view. Firstly so many parents barely get to see their children because they are having to be at work to pay the bills. Kids are basically having to go into institutions such as nurseries and schools almost from birth now. They get dropped off at 8 or 9 and picked up at 5 or 6 or even later sometimes and when they get home it's time for them to go to bed. At weekends parents are exhausted and have so many chores to do. Family time is so rare. That's no criticism of parents, I'm sure that they would love to be able to spend more time with their kids but society is making it so hard to do that.
      My second thought is, and this, again, is no disrespect to parents but we were never brought up to do that and many of us struggle to understand how to do it for ourselves (which is why so many of us are struggling so much). I include myself in that. We were never taught so how can we teach what we don't know and understand ourselves. We are flawed ourselves as adults and as parents, we are often hurting and damaged snd don't know how to fix it. If we could focus on teaching our children these skills then they can pass it on to their children as more skilled teachers and healthier parents. It make a few generations but what a difference it would make to society. If we are open to it we could even learn to pick up these skills and learn from our children as they learn.
      I know it's not a realistic thought and it will never happen, it's a totally 'snowflake' idea and society doesn't want us healthy because it doesn't fit what it requires of us and the people in power need to keep us just working and making money and paying taxes etc. But imagine ehat they world would be like if we we were healthier, happier, kinder, more secure and heartfelt human beings with children growing up the same way

    My parents both had terminal cancer. I quit my job, moved states and moved in with them to be their caregiver. They died 13 months apart. I was with them nearly every minute of that time. Two weeks after their deaths I broke out in hives all over my body. I had never had hives in my life. I went to the doctor and he asked if I had been stressed. I told him what I had been doing and that I was actually the least stressed I had felt in two years. He said that now my mind and body could relax it was releasing all of the emotions and stress I had been suppressing while caring for my parents. The body/mind connection is real. Edited for misspelling.

      What the doctor said to you was similar said to me when diagnosed with anxiety disorder. Dr said I was having a panic attack when I described what was happening to me and I didn't want to believe it "because nothing was going on" at the time the attacks occurred. I was relaxed and in class where I wanted to be or just driving my car in no "stress" at the time. But then he explained it didn't have to be happening at the time. It was a build up and symptom of stress at other times. And I was living in an abusive stressful situation, so, he was right.
      It's amazing what our minds and bodies are capable of for not just surviving but growing and healing as well 🙏

    The best thing I ever did was sleep in the same bed as my babies, into childhood. I was mortified when my first born would not settle, he would cry until he vomited when I followed all the “advice” when trying to get a sleep routine ❤ I couldn’t stand the thought of him being distressed. My motherly instinct was extremely distressed upon seeing him like that and I realised that my instincts in relation to my children are right. I loved every minute of sharing a bed with my husband and two boys. I never drank and co slept and they were always safe. Now that they have left home, I’m blessed that I had those beautiful close years snuggling into my boys.

      I used to love sleeping with my parents. They would read me stories and I remember my dad had one of those blankets that are always building up static electricity and after we'd turn off the lights he would rub it a bunch and then it would look like a lightning storm. I thought it was so cool. Then my younger brother came along and everyone said that I was eyeing his pacifier, but I had my own room the whole time. I would just start thinking and wondering what everyone was doing, because at that age your family is everybody. My little brothers crib was in my parents room and we'd all hang out before bedtime and I'd go to my room. There were so many times I would sneak into my parents room in the middle of the night with just a blanket and pillow and sleep on the floor beside my mom.

      It's normal to experience strength growth after long rest, every strength athlete will take week or 2 off before competition, you need time to regenerate.
      ----------
      Her claims about cortisol in sweat are also mad, she just manipulates facts, sweat produced from exercise and stress is completely different, sweat produced by stress contains pheromone that makes you stressed as it's an alarm pheromone, it just let's our brain know that there's danger somewhere near us.

    As a massage therapist I have been isolated in tiny stuffy rooms for hours on end with stressed out people in direct contact with their skin almost every day for the past 19 years and I have six pack abs.... Leading people to believe that stress is contagious and gives you belly fat is just going to make people feel ashamed to share their stress with others and lead to isolation and loneliness. We are all here to support each other and stress is an inevitable part of life. Sharing our struggles with the people in our lives to get feedback and support is healthy part of being human and helps us to learn and grow. If someone is truly in a downward spiral and not investing in the best version of themselves but trying to make you feel responsible for their bad decisions then a boundary is necessary to prevent that person form bringing you down. If someone is truly looking to solve a tough problem in their lives or share an unpleasant experience they have had by all means be there for them and give them your best advice and sympathy. You're not going to end up catching their stress or getting belly fat.

      Also, I know of way more overweight ppl (with belly fat that never seems to go away no matter what they do) than fit ppl who are always stressed out and do not get decent rest.
      Your experiences are yours, but there are millions of ppl who experience what she explained about stress and belly fat. Plenty of them out there get stressed out just bc they’re around others who are.
      It’s not that complicated, and it happens often. And altho I don’t know you, I’d also venture to say it’s possible that you might not be as empathetic OR as aware of others’ feelings as some ppl are.

    Sleeping apart had been the BEST thing I could have ever done in my relationship. I always felt I was strange for not liking sleeping with a partner and suffered in silence for too long. I soon grew resentful of previous partners who would wake me up rolling around or breathing etc beside me. Of course I liked cuddling etc but when it came to sleep it was a definite no no.
    I feel closer than ever to my partner now that we don’t sleep in the same bed and I can actually get some good rest and enjoy my life feeling rested and awake in the day.
    I mention this not saying ‘I’m right, she’s wrong’ but to remind people some things don’t work for everyone. A credited doctor should know better than to talk in such harsh absolutes. Within our evolution and what’s ‘best’ for humans there are invariably a cohort of us who definitely do not thrive with this. I for one would be extremely miserable being forced to attempt to sleep beside a partner long term, no matter how much we loved each other, if I meant I always felt miserable and sad from lack of sleep.

We're happier, friskier, and more well-rested now that we have two rooms to choose from for snuggling etc. I was miserable before; my hubby is a snorer and a twitcher, and he likes to go to bed early in total darkness.

    My wife and I have been together for 11years. 10 1/2 of those years we slept together. Through that time attaining quality sleep was a struggle due to our starkly contrasted sleeping styles, no matter how big the bed or how much we tried. This also stressed our marriage. 8 months ago we moved into a new home and decided to try sleeping in our own rooms. Since then not only has our quality of sleep DRASTICALLY improved but also our marriage and bonding and closeness! We kiss each other good night every night and good morning every morning, that has never changed. Our quality of happiness in our marriage is so much better because we now can sleep peacefully.
    So I respectfully disagree with NEEDING to sleep together. We are all unique and we all have our own needs and individual requirements due to how we were raised which affects us neurologically, physically and emotionally.
    My suggestion is to test your marriage sleeping situation as we did and see what works best for your UNIQUE relationship.

    This was amazing. I am a 66 year old woman pondering retirement and all things related. After listening to this episode, I realized that while I have lived… what I want to do is dedicate thought, energy, practice and visualize HOW I want to live my remaining years, this is not a decline but a rebirth and celebration of sorts. I joke that I am still strong, feisty, strong and youthful ( as though those attributes are waning). I realize my perspective must be they ARE me and I want them to continue to define me.

    Regarding reframing our words instead of saying “I have to” I say “I get to” which feels so much lighter. Also, when I feel stuck in any situation I like to ask myself “what else is possible?” And/or “how does it get any better than this?” These questions create a lot of space for me.

As soon as we open up to such feelings, there is a good chance, that we can't lock ourselves up against all the other true and deep feelings inside of us and so maybe they will start to find their way out and that mostly very loud and long.

    My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD at 5. Afterwards, it was a constant struggle with therapy, counseling, hospitalizations, etc. but nothing really changing until now (middle school).
    In a time when kids are said to become hormonally unstable she has mellowed out DESPITE the fact that we stopped medication and therapy bc of the pandemic. But guess what this podcast made me realize?
    As soon as she hit middle school she became HEAVILY involved in the arts. You name it: chorus, orchestra, drawing, writing and she’s actually VERY talented.
    Not until this episode did I make this connection and now I’m awestruck and humbled that something we just stumbled into could be the real solution.

I enjoy good health and expect to continue doing so, despite a few aches and pains I didn't have (or notice?) when I was younger. The problem is, my peer group is very focused on the failure of their bodies and talk about their "bad knees," and "getting my hip replaced," and other medical problems all the time.

Like… I know you don’t want to see the hypocrisy in you saying “I do it because they do it” but the generalization implication I identify as equally stupid from both genders. (Yes there are two 😂). Only socially awkward or disruptive guys say “females” in context like this, That’s who you’re parodying.
      Then there’s the other archetype that just goes “there’s nothing wrong with it, I’m not implying anything”.
      The “totally not-holier than thou” act works on nobody… regardless of your gender. The “Not” backhanded compliment at men speaks volumes of the priorities of the comment about this video. You got baited

    This is coming from someone who’s watched 1000’s of hours of podcasts.
    Also headed over to Tara’s channel to subscribe and binge some more. So interesting, happy days🎉

      That's a big one. I'm a biomed scientist in recovery from alcohol. The way the nervous system overfires when you lift the suppressant of alcohol from it without drugs like librium or benzodiazapines to bring you safely off alcohol and your nervous system to gradually get back to normal is VERY SCARY to experience. I didn't fit but I know plenty of people who have, and also with not that much alcohol taken away and not necessarily drinking non stop for weeks either. Some people can have a seizure after just one week of far less than a bottle of spirits a day! This lady is not an expert in alcohol or a neurologist, she's an ex psychiatrist with research in neuroscience. There are many many more fields of medicine where doctors are far more qualified and learned about alcohol

    Yes taking a hot bath with Epson salts and Essential Oils is crucial. I am a massage therapist and while I was working up in the north United States before I move south to retire, every morning I would have to soak in hot tub to release all the negativity that I picked up from my clients the afternoon and evenings before. I was too tired to do it when I came home at night. But it certainly made me feel healthy and optimistic and wanting to work and doing what I love in spite of the negative impact you can create on the human body. Thank you thank you thank you From the depths of my heart for posting this podcast. I have never been part of the herd and it created a lot of loneliness but I had to follow my heart my mind and my gut as soon as I could in early adulthood. I am best around free spirits and free thinkers because we all encourage each other and help each other. I miss that. I don’t have that here in the south of the United States. Living in the south is like living in another country.. Money can be very freeing experience and enable you to grow faster and better if you use it to enhance your knowledge and wisdom and you give it out to others so they may too prosper. ❤

    I think the concept of feeling safe when out in nature expands to our relationship with others as well. A perfect example of this is the universal overall feeling of safety and trust with others near you also participating in the same type of activity as you. When camping, for example, people commonly are not overly worried about their belongings being stolen from your tent, which obviously can't be locked. A feeling of comradery prevails.

There's so much we can learn from other people and from our ancestors. I found lots of little gold nuggets through the whole interview. Thank you Steven for another amazing podcast/video!!
